Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Weimar festival opens with Hindemith, Weill, workers choruses in front of Disney Hall and a Trump protest banner unfurled inside.
The L.A. Phil’s Weimar Republic festival is augmenting Esa-Pekka Salonen’s musical explorations with installations and public programs around the city.
Even so, the Weimar debate is far from binary. The issues are existential and deeply troubling. Did marvelously spiritual, uplifting and morally righteous art of the period transform lives, do harm or mean little in the rise of fascism? How are we to direct our own responses to the art’s lasting delight today?Delight there surely is. Thanks to “Weimar Variations,” Walt Disney Concert Hall has been wondrously transformed into a venue where modern artists interact with those of a century earlier.
Salonen’s first L.A. Phil Weimar program turned to Hindemith, Weill and Schoenberg, each of whom contributed to artistic innovation and debate in their Weimar years in a different ways. Schoenberg attacked the hierarchy of tonality with his 12-tone invention . Hindemith composed sexually shocking operas . In connivance with Brecht, Weill stoked theater with political assertion and used of popular musical forms .
